Matching Pairs Producers Consumers and DecomposersOnline version assignment by Benjamin D Morgan 1 Phytoplankton 2 photosynthesis 3 Zooplankton 4 Decomposers 5 Oxygen 6 amount of rotten meat 7 Required for photosynthesis 8 Consumer (heterotrophs) 9 Herbivores (primary consumers) 10 Carnivore 11 Omnivores 12 Glucose 13 number of flies 14 Producers (autotrophs) Organisms that eat only consumers. A waste product produced by plants during photosynthesis Organisms that cannot produce their own food and must eat to get energy Organisms that eat both plants and animals Organisms that get their energy from the sun through photosynthesis A sugar produced during photosynthesis by producers How are the number of flies effected by the amount of meat that is rotten in a garbage? Identify the independent variable. Tiny photosynthetic organisms usually found in large bodies of water and are the most common producers in these waters Carbon Dioxide, water, and sunlight Organisms that get their energy by breaking down dead organisms and animal wastes AND make nutrients in the soil. Tiny organisms usually found in large bodies of water that consume other small organisms. A process used by plants to acquire their own energy. How are the number of flies effected by the amount of meat that is rotten in a garbage? Identify the dependent variable. Organisms that only consume producers.
